We just learned of your mother's passing, and are very sorry for your loss. Although we never had the opportunity to meet your mother, we felt like we knew her somewhat through your warm stories. You were a wonderful son whom we wish the very best to in your new endeavors.

To my loving, selfless, talented Grandmother.I love you so much and I will NEVER forget how wonderful u were. U taught me what a real wife, mother, aunt, sister, friend and neighbor is supposed to be and I can only aspire to be as good as u were at those things. I will always remember the morals and values u taught us growing up and I hope if and when I do stray u will be in my heart to guide me back the right way. I'm honored to be your namesake and honored to have such a wonderful loving grandmother who has been there for me through everything in life and I know you always will even though we can't see you anymore. I know you are still watching and loving us all. Until we meet again, I know you will be there to hold my hand when God calls me home. I love you my Grammy, my angel.

I was greatly saddened by this news. Tina was one of the most loving, caring, and generous people I've ever known. Rest in peace, Tina; you are remembered and loved, and you will always be a part of us.

To my mother, my friend my confidant...You held my hand coming into this world and the greatest gift you gave me was to allow me to hold your hand and lead you to whats awaiting on the otherside.. the last tear you shed while holding my hand was also you last breath.. It was the greatest experience a mother could bestow on her daughter.. thank you for letting me love you to the end.... Always and forever your Daughter.

I am so very proud to have had you as my godmother,rolemodel,Aunt and second mom. And now I know when I am sad and I hear the wind whistling in the trees it is you leading the angels in a beautiful song. Save a space beside you for me so we can sing together again someday!
